FAREWELL, my well beloved and worshipful cousins, Mr. Nicholas Ridley, of Willimountswike, and your wife, and I thank you for all your kindness both showed unto me, and also to all your own kinsfolk and mine. Good cousin, as God hath set you in our stock and kindred (not for any respect of your person, but of his abundant grace and goodness) to be as it were the bell-weather to order and conduct the rest, and hath also endued you with his manifold gifts of grace both heavenly and worldly above others; so I pray you, good cousin, (as my trust and hope is in you) continue and increase in the maintenance of the truth, honesty, righteousness, and all true godliness, and to the uttermost of your power to withstand falsehood, untruth, unrighteousness, and all ungodliness which is forbidden and condemned by the word and laws of God.

FAREWELL▪ my young cousin, Ralph Whitfield. Oh! your time was very short with me. My mind was to have done you good, and yet you caught in that little time a loss, but I trust it shall be recompensed as it shall please Almighty God.
